Aston Villa fined by Football Association for supporter misconduct

Aston Villa have been fined £200,000 by the Football Association due to spectator misconduct in the aftermath of their FA Cup tie against West Bromwich Albion.

Seventeen supporters were arrested for various public order offences after entering the Villa Park pitch following the 2-0 quarter-final win in March.

The FA launched a full investigation into the pitch invasion which marred Villa's victory, with the club being warned about the future conduct of their supporters.

Villa went on to win their final-four clash against Liverpool to set up a meeting with Arsenal in the May 30 final.
